Do you struggle with putting unnecessary pressure on yourself to execute your plan perfectly?

To the point where when you do encounter a setback, you are guilty of just throwing in the towel altogether and telling yourself you’ll start over again on Monday?

You aren't alone.

In this episode, listen to Paul and Micheala as they explain how the all or nothing, perfectionist mindset is actually working against you and your goals.

They both share how this toxic mindset has shown up in their own journeys, and walk you through tangible action steps to take to make that mental shift so you can learn to strive for consistency over perfection and ultimately, become more successful achieving your goals.
